1 Keren Kayameth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund From Generation to Generation Your Bond with the Land of Israel הַשְׁקִיפָה מִמְּעוֹן קָדְשְׁךָ מִן-הַשָּׁמַיִם, וּבָרֵךְ אֶת-עַמְּךָ אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאֵת הָאֲדָמָה, אֲשֶׁר נָתַתָּה לָנוּ-- כַּאֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ לַאֲבֹתֵינוּ, אֶרֶץ זָבַת חָלָב וּדְבָשׁ. דברים כו, טו "Look forth from Thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless Thy people Israel, and the land which Thou hast given us, as Thou didst swear unto our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey." Deuteronomy 26:15 Sustainability and Partnership are the fine threads that run through KKL-JNF projects and activities. Sustainability, Kayamuth in Hebrew, is implicit in the organization's name, and only with the cooperation of its partners worldwide can KKL-JNF carry out its vital work for Israel and its people. KKL-JNF continues to meet Israel's challenges while remaining true to the guiding principles determined at its inception in 1901. Since then, KKL-JNF has served as the executive arm of the World Zionist Organization, reclaiming and greening the land. KKL-JNF promotes sustainability in its forest and water management policies and through involving people in many facets of its work. KKL-JNF's vision of sustainability helps ensure that Israel's natural resources will be available for future generations. The vision extends to other regions of the world by sharing knowledge and know-how with those facing the challenges of dryland management and promoting food security in developing countries. Though diverse, KKL-JNF's spheres of action are interrelated, embracing the varied and many projects that are key factors in shaping Israel. They preserve open spaces, transform the landscape through afforestation, provide innovative water management solutions and promote income-generating activities, including cutting-edge agriculture and tourism for the people in the periphery. Our educational programs for today's children help ensure that they become the environmentally conscious citizens of tomorrow, thereby creating a better future for Israel – and the world.
